I don't really think it's either for me. I don't see a stream of images when I think, but there's no narration going on either. If I really want to visualize an image I can, and if I really want to think something throug

I don't know how it could serve as any meaningful flag. It's normal to merge to main without any review in your own solo hobby projects, and I kind of doubt this badge goes so far as to exclude those kinds of repos.

They pestered me with this for a while and I kept closing the app. Eventually, they asked me for just my age instead. I stupidly provided my real age, but I wish I'd tried to make something up. I have stopped using Instagram as much as

I primarily work on my laptop with just one display. When previous employers provided me with machines they always provided 2 or 3 displays, and later one _really huge_ display. I _did_ make use of them, but personally tend to gravitate bac

Seconded. When I have to use a desktop PC, I always use my Kingston Expert Mouse Wired. I hear they're better for ergonomics and I'm not sure about that since I've never had pain with any mouse, I just prefer that the trackba

I am not actually sure. Skimming through the documentation the process seems to sound largely similar, but I'm not sure if there are technicalities or waiting periods that get revealed only after you start. There is some information ab

As just one tiny data point, I recently started a limited company (Aktiebolag) in Sweden and the process of application, opening a bank account, and applying for VAT was _quite_ straightforward. It was not a very fast process and there was

The idea of this stresses me out. It's highlighting my own deficiency in collaboration when it comes to working on hobby projects. I like the _idea_ of working on fun things with like-minded individuals, but heck, I do that all the tim

I don't anymore. I have a monthly overall budget (a single number) I try to stick to. It encompasses all expenses except for rent. So this one number includes groceries as well as discretionary spending. If I go a little over it's

I think that K8s _could_ make the process of maintaining CI/build/deployment tasks much more hands-off and automated. But in practice we often use this new "power" as an opportunity to invent more fancy/smart things

Congratulations on the release! Building a game to some often elusive sense of completion is harder than some think. You should feel proud and take some time to bask in the nice feeling of finally having it out there.

It is a pea-based replacement called Sproud. Milk replacement tastes are extremely individual, but for me it was the only thing that managed to taste just right in coffee. All the oat, almond, and other alternatives I've tried always s

It was a gradual thing. I never liked the taste of red meat, but enjoyed fish and chicken. So I cut red meat out pretty early (as soon as my parents stopped making me sit at the table to finish the meal). Later, as I learned more about fact

I wonder if being vocal about your sentiment about your country and people (ie, saying you never liked them) could be turning them off a bit? There is a lot of solidarity with Ukraine and Ukrainians right now. I don't know why you don&

Yeah, I understand. I'd be happy to pay a higher one-time fee for the software, or still do it on a monthly charge basis (I understand there'd be enforcement difficulties with that though).

Why? Presumably they took into account their own financial situation when setting this price. Why would you want an organization to try and claw a few _more_ euros out of people when they've already agreed on 9€? I guess I just don

And giving up their land and independence is the last thing Ukrainians want, so it sounds like Ukraine and NATO are on the same page in terms of not appeasing a senile tyrant invading a sovereign nation.
